Hello MVK,
The NI PXI-5660 RF Vector Signal Analyzer can use virtual instrumentation to many different types of measuremenrts, even those that may not be shipped as native features since they can be built from components that are currently available. Such is the case for CNR measurements. I am attaching an example written for another RF customer looking for CNR measurements, which is built upon the native power in band and spectrum peak search measurement routines. A power in band measurement is used to measure the noise power of the signal, and a peak search measurement is used to measure the peak power of the CW tone.
